About the Item

Honor the legacy of a beloved French saint with this expressive antique polychrome wood sculpture of Saint Roch. Carved in France circa 1870 and standing an impressive four feet tall, the figure retains its original painted finish. Saint Roch, born in Montpellier in the 14th century, is venerated as the patron saint of plague victims, pilgrims, and dogs. He is depicted here in classic iconography: dressed in a pilgrim’s cloak, tunic, and boots, with a wide-brimmed hat slung over his back. One hand is raised to reveal the plague wound on his thigh, an emblem of his suffering and miraculous healing. At his feet, his loyal dog gazes up with devotion, traditionally shown bringing him bread during his time of isolation and symbolizing divine care. The large, hand-carved wooden figure is rendered in a soft palette of aged rose, green, and earth tones, with deeply sculpted drapery and a serene, introspective expression. The reverse features finely carved details of his pilgrim’s satchel and hat. In good condition commensurate with age, the statue exhibits visible craquelure, paint wear, and minor losses, all of which enhance its sacred, timeworn presence. A moving example of 19th-century French religious sculpture, this statue would make a meaningful addition to any sacred space, curated collection, or traditionally inspired interior. Weight 77 pounds. 18.5"W x 11"D x 48"H

Mid-18th Century French Carved Polychrome Statue of Moses in Oak Niche
Located in Dallas, TX
Crafted in France circa 1760 and resting in a carved oak niche, the figure depicts the prophet Moses, the most important prophet in Judaism and Christianity. Moses is best known from the story in the biblical Book of Exodus and Quran as the lawgiver who met God face-to-face on Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments after leading his people, the Hebrews, out of bondage in Egypt and to the "promised land" of Canaan. He is represented with horns on top of his head. The horns came about because of an ambiguity of the Latin version of Exodus 34, 30. After being addressed by God on top of Mount Sinai and given the Tablets of the Law containing the Ten Commandments, Moses descended to his people in the desert. His face was seen to shine with a divine light. (The first Moses with horns was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb; it was based on a description in chapter 34 of Exodus in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time). The religious and biblical item...
